Draft Grade — Browns
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB TradesB FutureB-
The Browns won the night they stopped Horton from sliding. Grade: B.

The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Browns watched Tory Horton slide 62 picks past his grade and did not hesitate. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up. The dealing nudged the ledger their way without much fuss. Job largely done: edge rusher settled and 6 of 9 of the wish list covered.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick48 Rnd2 Josh Conerly Jr.
No edge and no loss on Josh Conerly Jr. in Round 2, Pick 16; it is a wash and a sensible one. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick59 Rnd2 Luke Lachey
Luke Lachey at No. 59 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick60 Rnd2 Tate Ratledge
Tate Ratledge in slot 60 is fair value, right on his grade. It fills a real need, too.
Pick80 Rnd3 Jay Higgins
By-the-book stuff, Jay Higgins at the Round 3 slot squarely in line with his ranking. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick123 Rnd4 Tory Horton
Tory Horton in the 123rd pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick159 Rnd5 Tahj Brooks
No drama and no debate, Tahj Brooks went about where he belonged in pick No. 159. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick176 Rnd6 Fentrell Cypress II
Fair-plus on Fentrell Cypress II, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick187 Rnd6 Steve Linton
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Steve Linton in the 187th overall pick. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick188 Rnd6 Bru McCoy
A tidy bit of business in slot 188, where Bru McCoy graded well above the range. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick208 Rnd7 Marcus Harris
A market-rate edge rusher, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Marcus Harris. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
